Too brrrr for me.

Off topic...

This photo is from my trip to Glacier this summer. A bit off topic, but I wanted to post it.

Family Portrait

Here is a family portrait from our Secret Santa party. Only Jacob is missing, and he's there; he's just hiding between all the girls on the couch. These are the kids I've spent the past several months with, and the past two years before that with. It is going to be soooooooo strange to leave them for a semester, and not be able to just toodle down the street and get an opinion on an outfit or run a paper idea by them. Mostly, I miss them already.

Outfits

My getting-dressed-skills are really improving this year. Here are a couple examples of that, and also a picture of myself with my friend Sarah!

Thanksgiving!

I may have spent the day solo, however, not only did I greatly enjoy myself, but I also did not go without the feast! I bought a pre-cooked turkey breast at Safeway yesterday, and after cranking up some Billie Holiday, made up some Stovetop, cooked some carrots, heated some green beans, cracked open a can of cranberry sauce, and mixed up some fizzy applejuicegingerale goodness. It has been a lovely day and I'm so thankful for everyone in my life and everything I have been blessed with. :D (Also the above photo features one of the woolly sweaters I bought yesterday. I bought it to make legwarmers, but I have fallen in love with this particular one and do not know if I can bear to cut it up.)

Oh Harry....

HARRY POTTERRRRR was excellent. I highly recommend. <3

Fall Ball (preview)

These were taken at the photo booth at fall ball. I'll be posting some more photos later. <3

Playing Dress Up!

My friends Emily and Nina came and visited a few weekends back and we basically played dress up and went to a dance party. :) It was very fun. The wig, however, did convince me that I do NOT miss long hair, as it drove me nuts all night, and by the top photo (the end of the night (please excuse the crazy face, it was 3 in the morning)) it had definitely come off.

In other news, I have made a flickr photo gallery to submit when I apply to be an IES blogger while abroad. You can check it out here.

Last, some this week's Dance Party themed Breakfast of Champions and last week's Halloween themed Breakfast of Champions.

Happy Halloween with Cait-tastrophe

This year, I was a roller derby girl! It was QUITE fun. I was also an artist for about 45 minutes because I had a lot of homework to do last night.

Halloween at Nom Nom

What I've Been Up To Lately...

Breakfast of Champions!!! Hot and Fresh Right Here!!!

Week 2
Week 3
Week 4 (All covers all the time!)

Hey everyone! I'm having some awesome and wild weeks. Lots of concerts, many super great friends, a ton of missing my family, and tests and papers out the wazoo. I'm going to try and be more prompt with the blog postings, but let's get real, I'm busy and blogging is like priority number 4 on my to-do list. I hope everyone is having a great October, and please enjoy the show!

Breakfast of Champions! Lunchtime Edition!

BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS

Here is the first radio show of the semester!!!! I missed the first half because I was dying, but I made it for the second half. Besides a couple of minor technical issues regarding backing music, it went really well. We managed to get one of the 60 slots available to the over 200 applicants, so that was lucky. And because I didn't get my Paul Simon show (regardless of the "strong application" they said I had) there will be much of him and covers of him and references to him, etc. Do enjoy!

a lack of posting here.

Sorry about my lack of posting. I've been very very veeeeerrrry busy between communications classes, European dictatorships, learning German, and feeding the masses of Puget Sound. Here are a few photos from the 2 days I spent at Bumbershoot over labor day weekend. On Saturday, I bought a ticket and got to see the Decemberists (so great), Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros (blew my mind!), and Bob Dylan (somewhat disappointing.) I also spent QUITE a bit of time at Flatstock, the music poster show. I only bought one poster, but it is one I considered buying last year, decided not to, and then regretted for the whole year. So now it is sticky-tacked to my wall and looking WONDERFUL. On Sunday I volunteered in order to get free admission. We walked around handing out sheets about taking the Bumbershoot survey and giving away free Bumbershoot patches and pins. It was super fun. We got to hear tons of bands as we walked around and we got to meet lots of people. We then took Margaret to see Motion City Soundtrack, which isn't one of my favorites, but who she loves. It was pretty darn fun. After that, we headed home early, and basically crashed upon our return. I hit the ground running and worked at 8:30 on Monday morning, and haven't stopped since. I'm now ill, and the cold is really not sparing me a lot of kindness. I'll try to be more fervent about my posting, but no guarantees. I hope everyone is having a good September. Tschüss!

For Dad

Glacier

I finished my final shift at sonic this past evening. I head out to the coast tomorrow. I am not as ready to go back as I was last summer. I didn't cry when I said goodbye to Harlee though, so that is a step in the right direction. Here are a couple photos from the trip I took to Glacier with my friend Serena, visiting from Wisconsin. :)

One more photo of me. :)

Late July Phototime with Papa Bearrrr!
